Patrice Brun et al., « An unfinished trend: towards urbanisation in Celtic regions north of the Alps (575-450 BC) », UNa - l'édition en libre accès, ID : 10670/1.00c802...
The “princely phenomenon”, which flourished between 575 and 450 BC in the south-western part of the Celtic regions north of the Alps, has been interpreted in remarkably diverse ways, ranging from one extreme to the other over the last three decades. Some of these interpretations may even be taken to represent the excesses of post-processualist thinking. The latter came about because the relativist approaches long adopted by a majority of archaeologists, who did not necessarily realise what consequences such a way of thinking could have, reached an impasse. They treated the question of urbanisation without attempting to define precisely what they understood it to mean.
